An effective p-adic analogue of a theorem of Thue II. The greatest prime factor of a binary form
"Ramanujan's 6-10-8 identity" inspired Hirschhorn to formulate his "3-7-5 identity". Now, we give a new "6-14-10 identity" which we suppose Ramanujan would have discovered but missed to mention in his notebooks.
We give a survey of methods used to connect the study of ternary diophantine equations to modern techniques coming from the theory of modular forms.
Let K = Q(ζp) and let hp be its class number. Kummer showed that p divides hp if and only if p divides the numerator of some Bernoulli number. In this expository note we discuss the generalizations of this type of criterion to totally real fields and quadratic imaginary fields.
We consider the Lebesgue-Ramanujan-Nagell type equation , where and are unknown integers with . We determine all integer solutions to the above equation. The proof depends on the classical results of Bilu, Hanrot and Voutier on primitive divisors in Lehmer sequences, and finding all -integral points on a class of elliptic curves.
This paper investigates the system of equations in positive integers , , , , where and are positive integers with . In case of we would obtain the classical problem of congruent numbers. We provide a procedure to solve the simultaneous equations above for a class of the coefficient with the condition . Further, under same condition, we even prove a finiteness theorem for arbitrary nonzero .
